I am becoming too frustrated using this phone. No official froyo update till now. Those hacked froyo updates always crash and have bugs. Finally decided to gonna sell this crap. Its good for nothing. Samsucks!!
Few days earlier just saw Galaxy Ace on the web, I thought it to be good choice. But that sucks too even it has adreno 200 gpu it isnt able to play fifa and shift smoothly but can say near to it. Developers also dont pay any attention to thse phones. These mid range Samsung phones give worse performance than my ipod touch.
Finally decided to spend some more money and buy a proper phone like xperia play or xperia x10 mini pro 2. Xperia play costs around 400$ according to rumors on the web. Its worth it and i amsure that it would keep me satisfied for six months. These samsung phones wouldnt keep you satisfied for even a week. Therefore we should a get proper one.
I disagree. This phone isn't piece of crap, theses roms, like lestatious, are good, better than oficial. But if you wanna play games, buy pc!!
Yes, you can't play gameloft games, but you can know that before you bought this phone.
Stop cry, flash lestatious rom and try games like angry birds. There are much better games that fifa....

I can play a lot of games just fine. Either you think it's a pocket sized PS3 or you are plain stupid.. Don't expect top notch performance from a relatively cheap low- or mid level range phone, they do good what they are build for, that does not include full 3D games. (which, again, seen to perform just fine because I tried FIFA and The Sims and both played fine.)
Back to the store kid, and get yourself a PSP or something if you want gaming.

I totally Disagree, and you should know that you get what you pay for. This phone costs alot less than those heavy phones and still packs a punch. I own a desire HD also but i still love my SGS 3. Its cute and does what its meant for.
I little disappointed with speed of CPU and custom stuff which aren't a lot a that moment, but like more of you, I don't think it's crap too.
Of course there are better phones but what you expected from mid-class phone.
Anyway as much fun SG3 brought to me like any phone before.
wow
are you really so angry because of just the phone not getting 2.2
or is it something else in your life which has caused you to rant like this.
For its price this is one of the best phone i have used. true there are some shortcomings but nothing is perfect.
As many have said before me it does what it is supposed to. Phone meant for communicating and some light entertainment.
You cant really compare it to an ipod touch. For that matter even the iphone, which if bought officially in india is still more than double of what this phone costs.
So chill, and dont get so worked up.

IF u wanted a gaming mobile phone, Galaxy 3 wasn't a good choice u made.
Screen resolution is too low ...
But otherwise , this phone awesome
And if u want an official update , u better wait for teh ofiicial update while we flash our mobile getting teh best out of it.
There are too many custom ROM's available now.. Who teh heck wants official updates?
If u don't want these custom ROM's, XDA isn't a right place for u ...!
Why teh hell are u here ..!?
May be u'd change u're opinion after u flash u're ROM to teh custom ROM's available here. Give it a try

We hope. 1 Month left until they apparently release it.
But I disagree with the OP. I like the small size, good battery life of this phone. I don't use if for gaming, and to be honest, if I needed a mobile gaming machine I'd get a PSP.
This phone has just the right amount of power so that it performs well and has good battery life.
I think you're fighting a losing battle in the Galaxy 3 section!
if you don't like this phone, sell it.
many people love the galaxy 3, and barqers already said it, but you're fighting a losing battle
Phone for that price is OK, but maintenance from Samsung is piece of crap, that is problem.
This is an awesome phone....

the G3 is a a phone which puts software over hardware and even so without a graphics accelerator it performs several HD games like fifa (from gameloft!!) amazingly well!!!
try to use a phone within its capabilities
(i myself personally find it as a good tricorder!!)
Listen m8 sell the phone l'm sick of people like you who want a high-end device for 200€.What's your problem man???

Ok so I tried to play sonic and I couldn't jump n run, I've been tolerant to no mt, but now that a couple apps I've been paying for needs multi touch I'm starting to really hate my phone, its an iphone killer, but I can't take this much longer, dear sony, get off your rich ass and fix this, or give me the beta of 2.1 n I'll shutup, I'm sorry, I never rant but jeez sony get your act together... How do you feel, hopefully if sony sees this with all the complaints in one forum they might actually get off their lazy ass, if anyone is offended off my post I'm sorry...

Nope! Love it as it is. Sorry! Being impatient will make your blood pressure boil and add to your stress level. Just relax, it will come very soon or sell your phone and get the latest one...
Couldn't care less for mt. Love the phone just as it is now...no promises 2.1 will bring mt either and again I couldn't care less...but why did you get this phone knowing it didn't have mt?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
IMO its better than the iPhone and most other phones but it couldve been WAY better if it had MT and up to date android.
I am really sorry, but I always laugh when I read people are really really, angry because they can't play some game well on their phone. Buy yourself a psp or ps3, or one of the other great game consuls, the graphics and sound is a hundred times better. If you are really into games than you have to admit playing a game on your phone is fun to kill some time, but not for playing seriously...
Sent from my rooted x10i using tapatalk. Cheers, Arnold
I play a few games on mine, particularly zenonia, but nothing seriously. Try the psx emulator, i was really suprised how well it runs. I'm happy with it as it is, but i am looking forward to 2.1 and a bootloader hack working.
If MT is such a huge issue for playing your games just set the Camera button as your Jump button there you go problem solved
in recing games set the (camera key) to accellerate and the (volume up key) for Brake
there you go no more multi-touch issues now stop complaining people =P
Actually I'm very happy with my x10... specially since I've got it to the latest firmware, I had a milestone before (which has Multi-touch) and I take the xperia any day, better battery life, sleeker design, faster processor, better internal memory, and when it gets 2.1 it will be even better!!
I don't think that we'll get mt with 2.1 and I really don't mind, if you really need games get a psp as was said above or a phone that you know has mt...
I got pissed when I unboxed this phone. First you see the phone and below it there were some low-quality straight out of hell earphones. I mean, with a phone like this at least give in-ear phones...
A cord might've been usefull too, the phone is so big that when I try to operate it with one hand, I get afraid because it feels like it will drop.
Well... i like my X10, but Se F***D UP this one.If they launch the X10 with the latest software and MT then this phone would be one of the best ones arround.
But i like it this way too.
It doesn't bother me because I knew it didn't have mt when I bought it.
For snes games I set volume up, and down as left and right, this allows me to use all on screen controls, find it works well for racing to.

I think people bought the phone knowing it didn't have MT due to 1.6 but not that it will never have MT, because SE decided to be cheap and not include hardware support for MT. They still push the fact that it has MT on their US website, sad when the maker of the phone isn't clear if it has MT or not.
Regardless of how you feel about MT it is a mistake for SE not to have the feature. When 2.1 finally comes out if it doesn't give the X10 MT functionality that's the thing that will be reported the most, no matter what else they got right with the release. Because of SE's already weak position in the market they can't afford stupid moves like this.
The MT isn't important argument reminds me of the MMS is not important argument IPhone fanboys used before the IPhone had MMS . I hardly use MMS but still like that I have the option to send one.
Im realy disapointed with the phone two
First of all I thought it was smaller and that it had a larger screen
And it has way to short battery life I was expecting 2 month batt time And look what We got
I dosent even have the 100Watt amp with speakers that I expected, no HD tv receiver no cofee maker no wheels no ..........
in answer to the OP's question...... No, I'm not.
Actually, re: headphones. My x10 came with a pair of really good ones. A friend got his @ duty free (Singapore airport iirc) and his ones are just vile. Even the plastic feels crappier.
So do different markets get different accessories?
Sent from my X10i
Yep - UK got cheapo headset.. Canada (I think) got the MW600... But the prices and contracts are all different too... I got a free handset on £30 a month for 2 years... unlimited data, tonnes of texts and minutes (more that I'll ever use!)..
Well, just bought an x10, it didnt came yet, should arive tomorrow. My last phone was an galaxy5800, that i gave up because of the poor graphics capabilities.
Now, im a bit scared about x10, i saw so many angry customers, that i came here to have a view of people that didnt had biggest issues with phone to know what you think about it...
First i dont think an official 2.2 or 2.3 will be a problem for me, since on my first day on galaxy5800 i updated to froyo. besides that, what you guys would say about the phone?
batery lasts? its good for hd games? runs psx4droid smooth? sound quality is good? touchscreen sensitivy is decent?
well i think this is what matters for me
thanks for any feedback!
I wouldn't describe the touch sensitivity as decent - its barely passable.
Yes to all your other questions though
damn, i tough it would not be a problem. the galaxy5800 uses tft capacitive too, and it rocks, "almost" touching the display activates the touch, tough on x10, using the same technlology would be no problem
just one more thing, im already ready to flash the phone to 2.2 when it arives, instaled and read everything needed. but in my older phone i had some problems with some games like raging thunder2, that didnt worked anyway after flashing.
everything will run on a 2.2 on x10?
thanks again
2.2 is basiccly same as 2.1 ( thanks to zdzihu ) exept it has more stuff like flash, ect. and everything works just fine. though you wont be able to play First person shooters normally because xpeia x10 has the multitouch bug....
Decline the package when it comes. Get another android device. Sony Ericsson ****d us on this device. Get a phone that gets Android 2.3/2.4. And a device with real multi touch capabilities.
If you want a device that is secured future updates don't get this.

the devs here havent fully unlocked it so some things are missing. Such as wifi tethering, full 16 mill colour screen, etc and it'll take longer to port firmware as they have to use the 2.1 update as a base. Currently the Camcorder only works with an external app with the 2.2 we have now and it wont have high detail recording. 2.3 doesnt have the camera currently but it will soon.
Things would speed up dramatically if we actually got a 2.2 update but the bootloader is locked down tight. Personally if i was you i would return it and get something like a HTC desire or something.
Depends what you want from the device. Since the bootloader is still locked, there's only so much you can do with it. But the super devs here at xda managed to get some custom roms working. I'm guessing you don't care much for the Sony ericsson UI, so the lack of support shouldn't be that much of an issue for you. Hardware wise, it is more than capable of running games smoothly, only problem is the multitouch issue described by others
Stupid sony ericsson could learn from other companies and just give us the bootloader...
with all these comments, im thinking in taking a galaxy s, at least try to, as i dont know if they will accept the phone back, and i will spend more money, that i dont have...
any chance of multitouch getting fixed? i heard there is a new update for multitouch comming soon

We've got dualtouch. Sort of works, but it won't get better than it is now.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Don't let the comments get you down though it is an awesome phone, and the touchscreen it's great side from the dual touch bugs.. You can still play many games even with dual touch, like gangstar, jet car stunts, and a lot of other really fun games! With froyo on it the phone is fast and responsive, and flash works perfectly..
It's a good purchase that I don't regret, needless to say I won't get another phone from se as their update policy and business ethic is shady at best, but I still think the x10 is a good phone.. I got mine used for 200 though, so definitely no complaints about that haha
well... gonna try to switch for an galaxy s... lets see what happens, thanks everyone
Knowing all the facts in hindsight, I would not purchase an X10 at this stage of the game. While I love my X10, SE doesn't anymore. Unless you get a new phone every 6 months, you will be kicking yourself in a year when everyone else is getting the latest technology. Smartphones turn into dinosaurs faster than PC's.

thanks for the positive feedback, at least if i didnt manage to exchange the phone, im not so afraid right now.
But man, im so disapointed with cellphones.. let me tell a short story:
i did never care for cellphones, and saw psx4droid. bought an galaxy 5800 to play games, and even with the best processor (667) on the price range it sucks on games ( it doesnt have gpu) .
i spent a lot more on that than i could. a oportunity apeared, and i decided to take a better phone, since i sold mine for almost the same price i paid. now, my x10 didnt arived yet, and im very disapointed with it, thinking on spending more money.. i can say, whatever phone i take, i hope it lasts, because will be the last time i spend money on a phone
If it's emulators you're after, get FPse it is easily the best playstation emulator! Then get the program wiimote controller and you can get passed the dual touch bug by using a wiimote controller through bluetooth
Hello Guys
I am a samsung galaxy s2 owner, i am contemplating switching it for the xperia play.
however i am in 2 minds i'm thinking to wait for the xperia play successor, which will be a improvement, if there is one that is.
at the mo it looks like xperia play is a disappointment & SE might scrap it.
On the other hand what about the playstation suite certified sector they have recently opened which the xperia play and 2 others tabs are promoting,
does the play have a future.
whats your recommendations guys?
This phone us awsome I dont mind switching with you pm me if interested
It will take atleast 6 more months fir a sucseesor

If you want to buy a phone, whichever it is, you must buy it for what it can do now. The Xperia Pay allows you to play games and emulators better than any other phone. It's not state of the art tech, it doesn't have an orgasmic screen, but you can destroy people in multiplayer FPS at your liking.

Keep the Galaxy II, that is all I need to say.....
Depends what you like to do with your phone.... Touchscreen gaming??? Give me a break.... That's like using a computer without a mouse... Yea its possible with just keyboard but not the best experience. Dual core phones that are out now are fast but by the time they start optimizing good games or programs to dualcores, the quad will take over. You can't chase technology unless you are getting a new phone every 6 months. Get the play now if you are a gamer, i promise you would love it. And if you are not a gamer, get a nokia flip phone. It makes calls and texts without dual core, and the battery lasts more then a week without charging

Where did you hear that?
There might be a successor there might not? Either way it won't change the experience with the sexplay. It really won't make any difference at all cause it's in the future and if you can't appreciate what you have now and keep chasing the newest and presumably best you'll never enjoy what you have. It's a gamers phone and that's it's purpose and it does its job really good. If you're not that much into gaming there's better phones out there that will suite your needs.
The sexplay as a phone alone is ok and as a gaming phone just plain awesome. It can the things most other android devices can do and then it just tops it with a gamepad.
I defo wouldn't wait for a successor i would by now and then trade in for the next sexplay when or if it comes.
I think it will come and i already think this device is a sucsess.

Personally I'm glad that SE had enough decency to at least ship the thing with Gingerbread...look at Motorola and LG. And you're 100% correct about being happy with what you have. At the rate new Android phones are being released we're likely to have a phone with a Sandy Bridge i7 by next year.

Agreed. Weak display and low app storage hurts the Play, compared to the SG2.
That is unless old school gaming is about 80% of what the OP wants. Then the Play is tops.
don't see why everyone is giving out about the Play's display, apart from the brightness I think it's beast!
There is nothing the s2 can run that the play can't... That's all I gotta say. There isnt a need for a successor if this one can run everything out there.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Let's be honest guys, it is all about the gaming with the Play. The screen is not super AMOLED, granted, but I have no problems with it, even in sunlight. No phone is great in bright sunlight, so that argument is a non starter really. Dual core? No, but like the PC world, how much software is currently being written to exploit this, there can't be much yet, surely? It's horses for courses. You want a big display, don't get the Play. You want a physical keyboard, don't get the Play. You want a brilliant gaming phone, not just contest, get the Play.

App storage is not a problem if you root your phone, and even if you don't It will still hold a lot of Apps if you manage it properly. Most of the time people behave like kids in a sweet shop, download every app they think they might need and only use a small subset of them.
The screen on the Play is the best of the bunch of my phones.
I thought I would be playing mostly emulated games but I have been pleasantly suprised by the support GameLoft & others are giving to the Play.
If you like playing action games on your smartphone there is no alternative to the Xperia Play on the market.
Infact the phone is very snappy Android Phone.
Personally I couldnt give a rats ass about this update lol all ure gonna get is a few minor graphical changes and performance tweaks. All I want is for the playstation suite stores to open finally in my area.

I like the part where you clearly have no idea what you're on about.
Call me crazy, but I can't get that worked up about an OS.
The Xperia Play remains the device I've always dreamed of carrying with me, ever since I first saw the PSP and wished it could fit in a pocket and make calls and texts. If you'd have told me that device would one day stop getting official OS updates, I would hardly have been shocked or put off it. If you'd have told me the manufacturer released its latest beta freely and remained supportive of unofficial development (I know part of the thanks to that is Android), I'd have been impressed.
I have friends with Galaxy Notes and S2s and they see my gamepad, and freaking ZELDA on N64oid, and their eyes light up. It's a really, really cool device. Not that I hate their phones or anything, but I wouldn't swap. Hell I wouldn't swap for a Galaxy S3 or HTC One X or whatever the latest is currently. Now they may be the dream devices for some people here, but for me it would be as exciting as swapping a PS3 for an ironing board. If I didn't think that buttons are an essential for making games fun, I'd buy an iPhone, seriously. Much as I prefer the open nature of Android, iOS has many more apps.
90% of Play owners out there do not have root or an unlocked bootloader. They are not as technical as posters on XDA, and would not have been expecting game buttons to go wrong. It would have been a support nightmare for Sony to have let those people upgrade if there were going to be issues. For the rest of us, we can flash the beta / whatever dev roms we want. What I mainly liked about the ICS beta was the hardware accelerated browsing. But if Gingerbread ends up being the way to go, then I'll just use Opera for that. Nothing else on a generic gamepad-less ICS phone would really hold a candle to playing console games with buttons whereever I want.
I'm much more pissed off at EA for not making our optimised exclusives, FIFA and Dead Space, available in the UK for people who were too late for that deal, even to buy.
Its a phone im getting sick of tinkering with it....i just wanna play my games, text my *****es and occasionly call my parents and tell them im alive...ics pfft.

I find the part where you say that OP has no idea what hes on about to be worthy of a good ol fashioned facepalm.
ICS is pretty much all OP says it is. Graphical and Performance tweaks. Swipe off notifications (pointless as I have a handy little cross on Gingerbread that removes notifications anyway), Swipe task killer (not as amazing as it sounds as I have a better way...close the app properly) and some browser related stuff like hardware accelerated browsing and swipe off tabs (again, just open up tabs and click the little cross in the corner)
Almost everything on ICS is there to save you a whole, get this, few seconds. More often than not you dont end up swiping a particular notification/app/tab off and end up opening it instead.

On ICS, with N64oid you can use the gamepad touchpads.
(but atm, N64oid with ICS is still laggy ...)
Its true that we dont need it. But like my self i bought the phone since i have in mind buying an ICS but didnt wanted to spend $600 or more in it.
I own an ICS tablet and its the first android that doesnt need tweeks or that i find no use of a custom rom to make it work the way i like.
Do i need ICS on my xperia play?
Yes, please.

I love the part where you think you do. Do me a favor, how about you buy a different brand of phone so you can realize that Sony is actually just as good, if not better at supporting their devices than HTC, Motorola, Samsung, [insert name here].
Better yet, skip a step and just buy a ****ing iPhone. It will compliment your douchiness nicely.
I dont need it, and I'm getting a Hayabusa when it launches locally.
I have a Xoom with 4.0.4 ICS and I don't see why everyone is making such a big fuss.
However, I would have liked to see Sony push out one more GB update for the play with updated Qualcomm drivers, updated Sony apps and maybe improved Web browser.
Im just saying its really not worth the fuss lol who cares what I want is what I was promised ps suite isnt this supposed to be a sweet ass gaming phone with a tit load of games ? I LOOOVE my emulators and the small library of optimised games and psxperia emu sony sure did **** the bed with this phone it could have been so much more!!! Still it is a TON of fun

FSM Sony Ericsson Experia Play
Just sharing. As of late I feel that Sony's phones seem way behind the competition. But by the looks of things this phone looks nice and seems to have some power behind it....

And...to me.. I really like the clean look. Would I give up my Xperia PLAY for that...hell no.
Meh. If Sony can release a flagship phone for the US, it might be worth a damn.

I get the bad feeling that this will be one of those silly US only phones >_<
Sony dropped the ball long ago. The play is my last Sony phone. There's just so much better options now a days.
Support for the play didn't even last 1 year, my money is to important to throw it at a company who isn't in for the long run.
Buying into Sony these days is like buying into rim. A costly error when you can do so much better.
I hate to say it but this is a throw away market, problem is some companies treat there customers the same way.
why sony didn't give us ics:
it is not for touchpad support as they already got that fixed.
it is about the gaming performance.
i have contact with a sony dev and he said: game developers wouldn't update the games with touchpad support for ics, because they don't earn enough money from xperia play users. as i completely undertstand that because this is a game phone.
now people says: why doesn't give sony us something else as compromise? they do! they are helping the freexperia group with fixing things and they see what they can do else (with fxp) for ous
If we ever get Jellybean for our "Play" and gaming comes back... then can we question Sony for their lack of support?? I agree that it is not just about the gamepads and that ICS isnt as smooth as GB was for gaming, but now what do Xperia Play owners do? We must stay with GB basically outdating our phones(by far). I know its not all Sonys fault but we lose more then them seeing how we paid for our phone. Jellybean=working games & touchpads....what do you think?

Looks cool, if Verizon gets it they'll just ship it with their own old locked version of Android.

i cant really unterstand what people have against the play. mine runs very smooth with custom rom. Gaming is good(i mostly care for emulators) and the overall expirience is good. My girlfriend got a S2(as i did 1 year ago) and i dont want to trade. I just love the gamepad.
The camera is not that good and the ram could be more but thats the only complain i do have now...

I don't think people dislike the play. But are grumpy because it kinda flopped in the market. And there's multiple things that caused it too.
But that's what xda is for, to make the best of it. And yes I like it for the game pad, the phone itself may only be middle of performance vs other Android phones but whatever.
Wow, definitely considering this device now, If its announced at IFA the Xperia s will ultimately be dumped as the flag ship.

It is kinda nice looking, I like the smooth simple design. But your right, giving up my play for anything else is pretty much not gonna happen.
I will re house my phone once a year before I get another device!
